Burping Cloth Keeper

ABSTRACT

The present invention discloses the Burping Cloth Keeper. There has always been an issue of a baby&#39;s burping cloth falling off the shoulder of the user. This jeopardizes the sanitary cleanliness of the cloth which is to come in direct contact with a baby; particularly the face. The Burping Cloth Keeper is an invention that will affix the cloth to the garment of the user by sandwiching them between two encased magnets. It will allow the user to have uninhibited movement while staying in place to care for a baby.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The invention falls under the field of baby accessories. More precisely, the invention is a burping cloth attachment.

FIG. 2 is a folded view of the present invention; and

FIG. 3 is a folded view of the present invention attached to a burping cloth.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

I found that burping cloths were the most problematic with trying to ascertain a level cleanliness for the baby and a level of sanity for myself. The purpose of the Burping Cloth Keeper (BCK) is to prevent compromising the sanitary cleanliness of the cloth. The Burping Cloth Keeper attaches the cloth to the garment of the user through magnets. The magnets are encased in opposing ends of fabric (see FIG. 1). Once folded in half, the cloth and garment would be sandwiched between the BCK (see FIG. 2). There is nothing comparable on the current market.

The Burping Cloth Keeper comes in two variations: single and unattached, and permanently attached to the cloth. See (FIG. 3) for an example of the attached burping cloth keeper to a cloth. It accommodates both the left and right hand users which make it reversible. The BCK also allows free movement for the user. Although the original shape is that of an ‘I’, there are size and shape variations.

The process of creating the product is as follows:

-   1.) Cut a five inch piece of fabric parallel to the selvage in the     shape of the Burping Cloth Keeper -   2.) Fold the fabric in half so that it measures two and a half     inches long -   3.) Sew along the edges, leaving two openings at the opposing ends     to place the magnets in -   4.) Once the magnets are inserted, secure and finish by sewing the     openings closed -   Note—the measurements serve as an example and can be made available     in various sizes to the comfort and preference of the user. 

I claim:
 1. A burping cloth keeper/accessory for protecting the sanitary integrity of the cloth, and protecting the garment(s) of the user, the burping cloth keeper comprising: magnets encased in fabric for affixing the burping cloth keeper to a garment and a cloth, where said burping cloth keeper can be removed, and for the permanently affixing of the burping cloth keeper to the cloth to be attached to a garment, where said burping cloth keeper is affixed and cannot be removed from the cloth, and where said burping cloth keeper can be applied with one hand.
 2. The burping cloth keeper of claim Number 1, where said magnets encased in fabric hold through several layers of fabric.
 3. The burping cloth keeper of claim Number 1, where said individual and separate include size and shape variations.
